Instructions
Creating Strawberry Crunch Cupcakes is a straightforward process. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
5. Incorporate Strawberry Puree: Add the pureed strawberries to the butter mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fill Cupcake Liners: Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Frost the Cupcakes: Once cooled, generously top each cupcake with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting.
11. Add Crunch Topping: Finally, sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping over the frosted cupcakes for that delightful crunch.
